The invention solves the design and fabrication of narrowly dedicated surgical photoplethysmograph suitable for interoperative installation above optical channel. The invention is used for non-invasive microcirculation monitoring of the optic nerve. The device’s real-time analysis of measured photoplethysmographyc waveform provides a neurosurgeon a feedback about the adequacy of its mechanical manipulation of the optic nerve. By such, the invention protects patient’s vision from potential damage due to inevitable surgical procedure.
F.33 Slovenian patent
COBISS.SI-ID: 10955348The invention solves implementation of autonomous integrated wearable transdermal drug delivery microdosing system comprising integrated dosing micropump, collapsible reservoir with non-return filling valve, silicon hollow microneedle array injection chip and microfluidic connections. Microdosing system is attached to the skin with patch adhesive layer. Fabrication materials include but are not limited to glass, silicon and piezoelectric material. Microfluidic elements are covalently bonded (no adhesive layer) and fabricated on biocompatible materials.
F.33 Slovenian patent
COBISS.SI-ID: 11067988The first part of the presentation provides overview of some important micromachining processes and related microstructures which are constitutional structures used for sensing and actuating. The limitations of certain technological approaches are discussed and explained.The second part of the presentation is dedicated to thin film Ti/Pt temperature sensors and microheaters with emphasis on microstructural properties, which affect the electrical resistance. Characterization methods are presented for extraction of TCR and dependency on the thermal annealing parameters. The fabrication process steps provide insight into the integration of temperature sensors and heater on Si platform for microreactor applications. Last part of the presentation focuses on the piezoresistive pressure sensor structure, giving detailed analysis of membrane fabrication process and important mechanical stress issues regarding the thin film deposited layers on the membrane.
